Mischievous Taisho Occurrences 1
(I dropped the ball on this one, and I'm sorry it took so long when I worked constantly on it. Do enjoy the confusing scenes where I wanted you to have rollercoasters of feelings. Enjoy.)
Pink was not a color you'd expect to see so brazenly in the woods as the sun set but there it was attached to the head of a Demon Slayer in a white haori, with pink flowers as decoration. That same pink color wasn't limited to just the haori that the boy was wearing but it was also the same color of his hair. Even his sword had a theme of pink and white along the hilt… even though the blade wasn't either of those colors in the end. The sounds of flapping wings and annoying caws were a prelude to his crow landing on his shoulder.
"A NEW MISS-"
"Yell in my ear again and I'll have crow for breakfast." All of a sudden his crow got much more quiet and to anyone who would've seen this and been curious about the matter, kasugai crow did in fact show fear when threatened to be food.
"Eh- Yes! Well… you- A new mission. Taiki Busujima, you are to join another group of Demon Slayers to help on a mission. Towards the Northwest, the Northwest is where a small town resides." The crow started using his wings to point in said direction with gusto. "Rumors of an odd group gathering in the night, the disappearance of women in the area is also of importance. If this is all demon related then you'll have a group for safety. Hurry Taiki, hurry!" The crow took off and led the way for the pinkette through the skies. Taiki just started walking his not so merry self towards the locale.
"Might as well eat this anpan on the way." He pulled out said sweet bun with a delicious red bean paste as the filling, his favorite snack that his sist- "Damn it!" He almost bit his tongue in his sudden anger instead of the snack, but thinking about who used to make him these confectionaries was an automatic ticket to the irritation train. 'Still tasty anyway.' Just three bites and it was gone but his mood was still sour despite the sweet snack in his stomach.
His crow reminded him of their primary issue. "The destination is eight kilometers away!" The crow started cawing and flying even faster to lead the way. "We only have about ten minutes to reach the other Demon Slayers!
"Tch. Now I need to run." He slowly worked into a jog after his crow and he started to inhale a deep breath. "Zen Shūchū Kokyu."(Total Concentration Breathing). His footfalls started to increase in speed and wisps of water formed in the air behind him. 'Making me rush to help some losers…' The flowing wisps started to increase into coursing streams as leaves started being pulled by the draft caused by his running. 'Feet fail me not!' And now it was a full on sprint towards his destination, and Taiki was nimbly weaving his way through the forest to his destination.
There wasn't anything on the way to this small town that he actually bothered paying attention to, he was a one track boy who knew he had one clear direction and a set goal for when he got there. "Four kilometers left!" The crow called back to the boy sprinting with streams of water showing his path, twists and turns to avoid getting caught on branches or heavy bushes.
'Lost focus I guess.' He started feeling a slight ache in his chest from maintaining his breathing this long… even though it'd only been like seven minutes. 'How can Senjuro keep this up for hours and I can barely do it for twenty minutes?' The obnoxious cawing didn't even break his heavy concentration but he did start to notice the foliage thinning out as he ran. The two slowed down and Taiki started observing for any major details. 'Looks like houses, maybe the demon's hiding in one.' He was about to start asking questions when a loud caw rang beside his head.
"SEARCH FOR-!" Taiki's silent glare spoke enough words and Ebiko quickly lowered his volume. "R-Right. Search for any signs of the others, they should be around." With that his crow took back to the air, presumably to look for himself, and now Taiki started walking through this humble little town.
"This place is quiet, nobody's even out right now." Completely ignoring the setting sun on the horizon, Taiki walked around and sort of searched for people to ask about his comrades… there weren't any in his sight and that made a tick mark form on his head. Ten minutes of this repetitive looking around and the best thing he got for his effort was seeing a girl wave incense around through her bedroom window. "I'm so annoyed!"
"Well hello annoyed, I'm Niji!" Green eyes quickly picked up the movements of a girl just a few years older than him, and it was the girl he was content with being so irritating towards him. "I didn't think I'd see you on this mission, especially since I'm in charge."
Taiki's only response was to scowl and start walking again. "Great so I have to be around you even more. Don't get cocky just cause you introduced me to Urokodaki, I'll get past you in no time. Being faster won't help you forever." She ignored that and just gave their plan of action.
"Well first we should group up with the others!" She was way too excited about this and that just made Taiki even less enthused to meet the losers he'd be dealing with here- A fist hit the top of his head and he stared into the red-blue irises responsible. "Don't call people you haven't met losers yet. And quit the mumbling."
"Whatever."
The two of them followed the slowly reducing daylight towards another end of this calm living area and they saw a group of five other people dressed exactly as they were, in Demon Slayer uniforms that were- actually… their outfits were just black and none of them had a haori. Taiki looked at Niji and noted that the only thing that stood out about her outfit was the multicolored bar earrings hanging from her lobes.
'They all look so… boring. Guess only the ones with potential get to stand out.' A quick thumb across the fabric of his haori and he was continuing towards these people.
"Looks like Niji's back, and someone else." Some brown haired girl who was polishing her blue sword called them out. How many people got taught by Urokodaki?
A boy about his age looked towards the nearly set sun and sighed. "Looks like we should start heading over to investigate. I think I should lead the way."
Niji just bopped herself on the head and frowned. "And here I thought I was leading, oh well. I guess you can lead the way." She did a quick headcount of their numbers and found that she was one of four young women and that Taiki was one of the three young men. 'Weird… There's usually more boys than girls.' Gender disparity aside, they had a job to do.
That same guy who decided to take charge started leading them to a house with a purple lantern by the door. The more important detail was the seven kasugai crows perched on top of the house, drawing attention towards the abode. "Everyone keep your swords ready." He opened the door and everyone, save Taiki, took the initiative to keep a hand on their sword hilts. "It's not what I expected…" It was- It was a house. There wasn't even much furniture inside, some moved mats and a fallen wardrobe. It was a wreck of a house and there was even an annoying draft coming from below them.
One of those bland girls started investigating into the abandoned house and went to the kitchen. Taiki watched everyone split up to search for clues like they were some sort of… teenage gang of detectives searching for their culprit. Taiki just watched everyone else separate to find some sort of hint at where the demon could be, and he decided to do things his way. "Where are you going? I thought you'd help them out."
"Don't know but-" He drew his blue sword, with streaks of green moving towards the edge, and raised it over his head with rushing streams of water starting to fall downwards. "Can't be scared of breaking shit! Takitsubo!" (Waterfall Basin). He slammed his blade into the floorboard and sent splinters of wood flying through the air.
Niji uncovered her eyes and looked at the settling dust in the room while waving some of it from her mouth. "Why'd you go and do something like that? Just because nobody lives- Hang on… the dust is still going up?" For some reason the air wasn't clearing like it should and the reason became apparent. "There's another level?" The difference in air temperature was causing the warm air to rush upwards and keep the dust moving.
Taiki's impulse broke open a hole to another section of the house and he swiftly jumped down that hole and landed in a much cleaner room than the rest of this house. "It's a lot better looking down here… but why?" It was both warmer and way more inviting down here for some odd reason, but what would be the purpose of having an entirely abandoned house with a-
"I found something under this mat!" One of the other guys just ruined his thought process. Taiki watched a hatch open in a corner away from him and some type of ladder fall down and let the loser come down with him. "Yeah! Guys there's- Oh, you were already down here? How?" A casual point up to the door sized hole in the floor and the question was answered. "Oh. Right. Everyone, down here!"
Taiki sighed and watched the rest of them come down the ladder and Niji casually fall into the lower level from the hole, and with that he decided to sit down on the floor and start cleaning his sword with a white cloth.
"Hey look!" One of the girls pointed at a bookshelf against the wall and there was light emanating from very thin cracks around it. A quick yank and the entire thing fell onto the floor with a smash- They were causing a lot of damage now that you mentioned it. "A tunnel?"
The take-charge guy felt the walls of the newly found walkway and shook his head. "It's wood. This is a path to something. So are we ready to do this?" The others kept their gazes firm and got ready to follow him but he noticed that two people didn't look very willing to come along. "Uh, aren't you two coming?"
Niji just gave a bright smile and a thumbs up. "You've got this! I think you can do it!" Her happiness made them feel ready to take on anything in this creepy tunnel.
"Don't make it too hard for me to rescue you all when the demon shows up." Taiki didn't even look away from his sword to give that insult to these losers, but he was able to tell that they were all glaring at him while he cleaned his weapon. "Staring at me doesn't kill the demon. Go already."
That actually made them get things together and go down the tunnel to search for whatever was at the end. Now it was just Niji and Taiki sitting in that room together waiting for the others. "I wonder how long they'll be. The crows said something about a cult so maybe there's more than one demon, what do you think Taiki?" She heard him mumbling to himself in some type of rhythm that sounded like a song. "Oh Taiki~ I know you hear me~"
Taiki was really focused on humming that song and ignoring Niji so adamantly that it was almost admirable, unfortunately she wasn't content with being ignored when she was asking relevant questions and decided to take things a step further by throwing a book at his head. Now he was paying some attention. "AHH! WHY?!"
"You weren't listening to my questions so I had to get your attention."
"You threw a book at me! Art of War… Sun Tzu… This book was heavy too!" He flung the piece of literature back at her but missed by a country mile, but the sound of the book hitting a wall wasn't what they heard. Someone caught it. "Another brown haired loser?"
The newcomer ran a hair through his hair and blinked to make some sense of what he just heard. Niji just put her multicolored eyes to use and eyed the boy with all her powers of deduction. "I think it looks good, and his eyes are nice." It was just an offhand compliment but Taiki scoffed at it anyway, another guy who'd probably get his guts eaten against someone way weaker than Tsuchi.
"Well thanks but I came here to help with whatever's going on." He sat down and crossed his legs to look at Taiki then down the tunnel. "But if they all just went down there then it should be fine." His expression went from mild surprise to total calmness and he started reading the weaponized book.
Well now that was two people just casually acting like there wasn't anything that could've been wrong in this situation… with a possible demon in the area. Minutes passed and the two boys were cool as ice. Niji didn't like how relaxed they were when this was not only their livelihood but also the lives of other people involved. 'So here I am leading a group and two of them are staying back with me? At least they both have nice haori.' She idly thought about getting her own overcoat for her outfit to go out of the minimalist look of a Demon Slayer uniform, there wasn't any downside tactically. It would just look nice.
Their brief and enjoyable silence ended abruptly when one of the male slayers stumbled out of the tunnel, injured and bleeding but still alive through his wounds. "There was… a demon. He was- He didn't fight. He made the-" The brown haired Slayer caught his associate before he could fall to the hard stone floor, and he quickly pulled out a container of medical ointment.
'That's the stuff I got from Senjuro. How'd this guy get some when flower boy had it?' His internal question really needed to be answered even while Niji got up and prepared to run down the tunnel herself.
"It's fine. Don't strain yourself. You two should go ahead and help the others, I'll catch up." For some reason he said that so calmly but they both took it as an order… Weird.
Taiki rushed after Niji and man was this tunnel something else. Not only did the air get warmer but there were calming illustrations on the wood and lanterns giving off a warm yellow glow lined the ceiling. He finally caught up to his mentor and they mutually looked over the greater details of this tunnel than the abandoned house, there was a lot more detail down here. "Now something smells weird." Taiki noticed a strong scent gracing his nostrils but he couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be, he looked over and saw Niji trying to piece things together too but neither of them had any clue of what this scent was. The pinkette saw a light at the end get brighter and so he got himself ready for a fight but none of his adolescent mind could've been ready for what he saw.
Niji drew her sword the second they saw a group of- "What the hell?" There were injured men on the ground around them, bleeding but alive. "How are they still alive? Demons eat people so-"
"What… The… Fuck?!" The slaughter of his family didn't compare to the disturbing sight that his green lenses were seeing.
A demon with two horns pointing up from choppy black hair was sitting on a large cushioned chair, wearing a deep red robe that was undone above his waist and open to reveal his bare lower body. "Oh so there's two more of you, well there's always room in my Pleasure chamber." He splayed his arms out in a relaxed invitation but neither of the Slayers wanted to approach him. He had black tattoos running along his upper body and beneath his eyes in sharp angled patterns, but the most catching detail was the multiple women vying for any space of his body.
Seeing at least six women running their tongues along this demon's bare skin like it was their only chance to live. Even the girl Demon Slayers were taking part in indulging in his body, their hands, tongues, some even ripped their clothes to push their breasts against his arms.
"Another beautiful young lady… and a boy with pink hair? That's new." He didn't bother standing up to greet them and instead just took his left hand to grab one of the Slayers and push her head against his slowly growing shaft. "You chose an odd time to interrupt me, I wasn't even on my third release yet." She was definitely being proactive against his growing length, eagerly rubbing her face against his searing flesh, her breath giving this demon a shiver up his back. "That's a good girl." He purred to her, making her more aggressive in her actions.
This wasn't on the agenda for this mission and neither of the two who weren't either injured or servicing this demon like he was a deity just stood there in shock.
Her mouth wrapped around the top of his shaft and she started gently bobbing her head up and down him, going lower and lower with each motion. "Well if you're both so inclined to watch then that must mean you want to join in? I don't usually share, especially with demon slayers, but you seem alright." Somehow keeping casual conversation despite what was going on.
"It pisses me off…" Taiki stopped pussyfooting around and lunged with his sword ready to cut this demon to hell! Gentle streams of blue water surrounded his sword and he closed the distance in just three strides. "Minamo Giri!" (Water Surface Slash). He swung his sword sooner than he expected since something got in the way, another sword in particular. 'No way!' One of the girls was blocking his attack with a look in her eyes that he couldn't describe. "You're supposed to be helping me kill this bastard!" Taiki started engaging in a sword fight against this girl who was very much trying to kill him, and she was stronger than she looked!
The demon snickered and rested his cheek against his hand. "Why would she help you instead of worshipping me? My muscular body, these detailed tattoos, and-"
"This perfect cock~" Another girl in a ripped kimono worked her way onto the demon's other leg and salaciously glided her tongue from his base all the way up his length to meet the slayer girl in a fervent kiss with his tip in between their mouths. Her soft hand drifted downwards to carefully caress his orbs, ever so gently rolling them back and forth. She left the kiss and the slayer went back to servicing him while she brought her head lower to quickly inhale his powerful scent. "And these- so full of perfect seed." She didn't hesitate to quickly give a gentle suction to draw one of the orbs into her mouth.
'I'm not sitting here and watching this- this gross show anymore!' Niji slid her left foot back and inhaled, with her right hand going to the black hilt of her sword and her left resting on the white sheath. "Kaminari no kokyu."(Thunder Breathing). Soft crackles of lightning appeared around her and the demon actually looked invested for a second. "Ichi no kata." His interest turned to fear the instant he saw the distorting air around her. "Hekireki Issen!"(Thunderclap and Flash). Niji blasted towards him and started to draw her sword mid-air, with the speed she was going he wouldn't be able to respond to this attack!
Two things happened in an instant. For one the slayer girl that was worshipping his erection quickly pulled away and placed herself just in the pathway of the attack. And the second thing was Niji immediately shifting to flip and plant her feet against the back of the lavish throne. 'She's so quick! I have to use it!' He raked his nails across his arm and let his blood leak out.
Niji focused and all the demon made out were her multicolored eyes streaking towards the high ceiling and then back down towards him in a blitz of lightning with an explosive boom of sound following each leap! "Sanren!"(Threefold). This time nothing was in the way and he was all hers! 'Hn-!' Something was wrong. Very wrong. Her body felt… weaker. And she had to cancel the technique to focus on landing safely with her sword still ready for a rapid slash once this passed.
Now he was smirking and a red mist started to fill the air. "Kekkijutsu: Kiri Tamaranai Miryoku."(Mist of Irresistible Allure). The women around him grew more aggressive in their actions to satisfy him, and now the orally inclined slayer jumped into the fray against Taiki with her green and black sword at the ready.
'He's got them under some control!' He ducked under a swing and started noticing that while they had an excess of physical strength, they didn't have the practice of their breath styles. 'Whatever that mist did just powered them up, if they used techniques then I'd be in trouble.' He spun and delivered a softly flowing water wheel to clash his sword against another one. 'Need to kill the bastard fast!'
Niji was breathing heavily and trying to pull herself together but it was hard to focus with the sight in front of her. 'Does he really have to do this?'
Now he pulled one of the normal women to his face and started to lick her cheek, then he brought their lips together and kissed deeply while the same girl kneaded and rolled one of his engorged testes in one hand and lightly suckled it with her mouth. He pulled away from the kiss and smiled at the girl with lovely eyes. "Are you going to join or not? I'd really like it if you looked at me and took over for the other demon slayer that didn't get to finish the job."
"The hell I ever would. I don't like you, at all."
That made him smile even wider. "Oh you don't have to like me, my blood demon art just pushes any attraction to me all the way to the moon. I know you can feel it in you, I'd never force a woman to do anything she didn't want." He extended a hand with a cocky grin and gave an offer that he knew she couldn't refuse. "Do a good job and I'll let you be my main servant." If only he knew Niji Yoiko.
She slid into the main stance again and started to breathe, the clouds in her head slowly lifting away but not enough to fully put her back in her physical prime. "Ni no kata…"
He rolled his eyes then put a hand on his forehead in disbelief at how insane she had to be. "I should tell you that fighting how your body feels just makes it get even worse. Denying your-"
Another rush in speed and suddenly there were five arcing bolts of lightning enhanced slashes running into the demon's body, and the source was an irate girl with beautiful multicolored eyes. "Inadama!" (Rice Spirit). Now she was behind him and watching his wounds slowly heal from that blitzing attack. "Next time I won't miss your neck!"
No woman he encountered ever actually managed to land an attack so close to being lethal on him after being caught in his blood demon art! "How?! As beautiful as I am, no woman can resist my mist! Every woman knows I'm attractive on the most basic levels! How are you still fighting against me?!"
Her eyes went to her underling repelling his two assailants and she focused back on this creep. Niji exhaled and started getting into her next position for an attack, once more dropping into that stance to burst off towards him. "Your power can't work on me, cause I don't like men." He didn't even move as she started to breathe again.
"Wha-"
"Inadama."(Rice Spirit). By the grace of some god he managed to avoid that attack but seeing the comfy throne he used to own be reduced to ribbons out into perspective how dangerous this girl was. In his musings over this girl he completely neglected the other person that was out for his blood in this situation.
"Pay attention instead of trying to get girls!" Taiki's footwork turned very fluid and he evaded the clumsy attacks from the hypnotized women with graceful movements. 'San no kata: Ryūryū Mai.'(Third Form: Flowing Dance). With a practiced dance he brought himself right to the seducer and swung for his neck. "Go to hell!" His sword had to work past the hand that tried to block the attack. 'Shit! He slowed down my sword!' The sword was lodged halfway into this freak's neck and it wasn't going any deeper.
The blood from his neck pooled into the air and formed a red cloud. "Kanzen Isonshō Kiri!"(Mist of Complete Addiction). His panicked eyes went to every woman under his control then they locked onto Niji who was preparing her next attack. "Stop her! Don't let her finish that attack!"
Each of the girls rushed Niji with either nichirin swords or auspiciously acquired knives. "Kaminari no kokyu. Ichi no kata." She slid a foot behind her even with the imminent danger of other women approaching her. Two swords were thrusted at her from both sides, and lightning crackled around her body with a little more intensity. A powerful leap upwards brought her out of their attack ranges, then she leapt from the ceiling back to the ground then to a wall. "Hekireki Issen Yonren!"(Thunderclap and Flash Fourfold). The air distorted and she burst towards the deadlocked pair in her last burst of nearly untraceable speed. 'My legs are gonna be useless after this, I have to make it count!' Her hand went to her sword and she started changing her form. 'Go no kata-!'
Taiki pulled himself away from the oncoming attack and watched the damage he dealt mend like he never even landed an attack. There was the issue of another woman appearing behind the demon with a knife but hopefully Niji wouldn't have that casualty to deal with. 'I'm not fast enough to move her, she better hope for the best.'
The woman stabbed the knife right into the neck of her tormentor and ripped it out just as fast. "Son of a bitch!" She didn't care about the girl coming at them at breakneck speed, she had a goal and it was going to happen.
Niji was right on her target and with a powerful upward swing, "Netsu Kairai!" (Heat Lightning). A bolt of yellow lightning moved with her strike and severed the demon's head in one blow. With that decisive attack it was done and she collapsed to the ground in a semi kneel. "We actually did it. That guy wasn't tough but geez was he annoying to take out."
Taiki relaxed and watched the knife woman do the same. "That guy was super weak. If he didn't mess with my swing then I'd have killed him no problem."
Niji laughed at the taunt while trying to stand up despite the serious muscle failure she was experiencing. Her sword was still drawn and in her right hand, numerous yellow lines against a dark metallic grey to really seem like lightning in a stormcloud, but without her lower body she wouldn't be doing much attacking. Although it's not like it mattered since they actually- "Wait!"
There's no such thing as a coincidence. Taiki moving slightly to the side was an act that saved him from being run all the way through by a nichirin sword, and instead only having a deep gash against his side. "FUCK!" He didn't hold back the adrenaline induced swing of his entire weapon, sheath and all, into the girl slayer's head. She was out cold then and there but there was a very glaring problem.
"That would've killed me if my beautiful Hanako didn't cut part of my head off first." His head was currently being put back on by Hanako.
Even with a ripped kimono exposing her body to the air she looked like an innocent child who just performed a trick to impress their parents. "Was that good master? Did I do well?" His response was to first let his neck and head attach then he softly placed his hand against her cheek.
"It was wonderful my dear. It couldn't have been done by anyone else here." His senses picked up the scent that started coming from her in waves and he slowly began to move her further towards his waist. "And I'd love it if you finished what you started earlier, it felt amazing." He turned to the other women watching them and gestured to the pinkette holding his wound tightly. "Kill them both, I was so nice and they tried to kill me." The girls saw two people who hurt their master and went for the one that didn't have useless legs, she wasn't going anywhere after all.
Hanako slid her hands to the base of his still throbbing shaft and worked them in a slow twist, taking the head into her mouth and staring up at him with her hazel eyes. With a practiced ease she started moving further and further towards his base, her hands lowering to those hanging orbs again and caressing them one by one. She couldn't speak with her mouth full but her message was conveyed to him loud and clear: 'Do you like it?'
"You're so good at this…" Pleasure and a show. He turned his attention to a retreating pink haired boy and held back a laugh when he saw him stumble in pain, probably trying to keep his insides where they belong. Now he was on his ass and couldn't fight back against them. "No point in fighting now, and for you." He looked at the Thunder Breather who was still trying to stand. "I'll give you one more chance to fix yourself and join us."
Niji looked at him with so much anger that it could've killed a normal person just from her glare. "I'm. Not. Broken." Her angered gaze also saw the fluids trickling from Hanako's heated core but her focus was that cocky grin on the demon's face. "There's more of us coming. They'll kill you no matter what."
"I hope they bring more lovely girls who aren't wrong like you. I thought I was a little naughty for wanting to enjoy so many ladies but you, what's even the point of being a woman if you aren't going to enjoy a man's body? It doesn't make any sense." He was really good at this nonchalant conversation even with a girl currently touching her nose to his lower stomach with surprising ease. "Honestly I think you just haven't had the right man yet, and I'll make sure-"
"I didn't think so much would happen in just five minutes. I'm sorry I took so long." That new voice was currently walking into the dubbed 'Pleasure Chamber' with his haori fluttering against the warm air. "I had to make sure the other guy was alright." He saw the girls around Taiki and their drawn weapons then made a fast judgement call. 'Bigger threat.' He was a blur of blue and in moments all of the girls were on the ground unconscious. "Are you okay?"
Taiki just stared at him but the pain in his side made him begrudgingly accept his current condition. "I got cut pretty bad. His blood demon art takes control of women, that one is still working for him." They both looked at the still surprised demon and the girl who didn't completely let him out of her mouth. A container of ointment fell onto Taiki's lap and he opened it as fast as he- 'You're fucking joking.' He spilled it. He spilled it onto himself and started scooping it onto his wound as fast as he could.
Now there was this new guy? And he just had to actually be a guy. He ran his hand through his favorite concubine's hair and smiled at her. "Hanako, please keep yourself between us. He might be more like me than he thinks." She reluctantly pulled her mouth away from his pulsing length and stood up with her knife at the ready. "Listen stupid demon slayer, I just want to live a nice life with-"
"You take control of women? That's disgusting." His face was different than it was a moment ago, then it was calm and analyzing the situation but now he was the picture of silent rage. His mouth almost vanished from his face and his eyes were whited out in focus. "Making them do this stuff with you against their will?"
The demon raised a hand at that to cut him off before he could accuse anymore. "Now hold on, I'd never force a woman to do something she didn't want to. I just increase how they feel about my beautiful body. I'd think you understand how it feels to know women are attracted to you, you're a good looking guy yourself."
His eyes went to the girl carefully moving away from both the demon and knife wielding Hanako. "What about her? She doesn't look very willing to be here."
"Oh. Her." His entire tone went from being civil to easily readable disgust. "She's not even female. You see, my ability increases the already existing attraction that all women feel towards me but it didn't work on her. You see where I'm going don't you?"
"I don't. But keep talking."
He didn't like the demanding tone but he'd let it go this time. "Well as she so curtly told me, she doesn't like men. A woman who doesn't like men, much less me?! You understand why she's got something wrong with that head of hers right?"
Niji just watched her ally slowly calm down and return his face to that same calm look he had when he first got down here… and that scared her. 'There's no way that he actually agrees with this pervert? He wouldn't team up with a demon just because he wants to have sex… would he?'
"Okay I see now." Niji was horrified by those four words and the demon was smiling like they were reunited friends. "You're just disgusting on the inside, and no matter how you look at your skin level that won't change."
Wait, did he just say disgusting? He did. He just called him disgusting. "My master is the most beautiful man alive." Hanako sprang at him with that knife ready to go deep into his body. "Nobody could ever call him disgusting!" Hanako stabbed downwards but her wrist stopped before she could reach his chest.
He grabbed some of her untorn kimono and judo flipped her onto the ground in one fluid motion. "Making girls fight for you because you have a weak blood demon art… And telling someone that her love is wrong just cause she doesn't like you." He turned back around and was in that silent rage mode again, but this time he was drawing his blue sword. "You piss me off." He started walking forward slowly, intentionally taking his time with each step to be more intimidating.
"Why should I care about making you mad? I live life according to my own desires like someone as beautiful as us should." He was saying that but still backing away slowly. "What power do you have to tell me I'm wrong?"
That made the Slayer stop and blink, still furious but contemplating. "I don't usually brag, but I have plenty of position to tell you what to do. I'm the newest Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Jikon Hakuga." That revelation made the two conscious Slayers perk up and the demon began to sweat. Jikon just started walking again.
"Y- You're lying! There's no way you can be a Hashira!" Denial would get him nowhere in this situation. "You think that lying to me will get you somewhere! Even if you are a Hashira it doesn't mean anything if you're so new." He dug his nails into his arm and fresh blood spilled from his wound. 'It's a last resort but I'll have to push the mist to its limit! I'll wake those girls up with this.' He blinked some of his anxiety away and that was his mistake. "Ah?" The ground was getting really close all of a sudden… oh, his head was cut off.
Jikon stood behind the demon and flicked any traces of blood off his sword before sheathing it. "I don't even want your blood on my sword."
"Hey!" That got this guy's attention quick and fast. Taiki was outraged at how this alleged Hashira just showed up and killed their demon without even trying. Not to mention how he knocked out eight crazy strong women in barely two minutes. "How'd you do that?"
"I just cut his head off. That's one of the ways to kill a demon after all."
Niji would've laughed at Taiki's face if she weren't stuck on what she managed to perceive from that quick interaction. For just a second there was something familiar about that last step Jikon took, and her mind was leading to one solid conclusion. "You know another Thunder Breath user?"
"I do. I guess that makes you one?" He took a page out of Ko- Out of someone's book and stepped on the dissolving head of the disgusting demon as he approached her. "I can't say I've seen him go so far that he couldn't stand up, the Kakushi will get here soon so just hang in there."
"HEY!" Taiki stood up and hobbled towards them. "Which Hashira are you?! I wanna fight you!"
"Maybe you should wait until you're not barely walking." Jikon just looked at the bloody clothes and haori to know how bad he was injured. "I can smell your blood too well, you should rest before you try and fight anything."
"I don't need to rest! I'm tough, and I'll… I'll uh…" Taiki slowed down and almost fell flat on his face but he was next to his ever so helpful mentor and she guided him down beside her. "I'm just… gonna rest."
Jikon watched as kakushi started to come into the chamber, then they started to check over their allies and the women who were just unlucky to be here. "Good. You two are pretty good at handling yourselves against so many people you couldn't deal with like demons."
"Thanks." Niji quickly remembered that this was an actual Hashira who came to save them and sat up straight to try that again. "I mean-! Thank you Lord Hakuga!"
Jikon shook his head at that. "I've only been a Hashira for three weeks, you can drop the Lord title. And I only used a little of the Thunderclap and Flash to really catch him off guard. I use Breath of Water, and I'm really good with it." His blue eyes went to a predominantly blue sword and then looked at the pinkette who was being looked over by Kakushi. "Take them both back to the Butterfly Estate. The rest can go to a wisteria manor."
"Take us to the where?" Taiki questioned as he was being put onto a male kakushi's back.
"Where I stay with another Hashira. It's a really in the moment decision but since you wanted to fight me so bad I'll train you there. I don't know why you want to see if you're as strong as a Hashira but it must be good."
Now Taiki was being put down for a second to have some bandages wrapped around his wound. He was somehow more irritated by needing bandages than getting bandaged, but in his defense the demon was just some weak idiot filled with lust. 'Bullshit.'
Niji looked him up and down and realized something about his demeanor, he was a water breather who pushed forward so easily. And the way he slipped through all those mind controlled girls just reminded her more of- "Sabito…"
Jikon refocused on her. "You knew him? Because I tra- Uh, I heard that he was really good."
"He was in my Final Selection, he saved everyone on that mountain but he didn't make it out himself. I've done everything I can to kill demons and avenge him." Her fist started clenching around the first thing she could grab… if only her location wasn't on someone else.
"OW! OW! OW! QUIT IT!"
"Huh? Oh. Sorry." She was still upset about what happened to someone so capable but the screaming of the girl she was piggybacking distracted her enough.
'She didn't say no. So how do they feel about where things are going?' He decided to test how these two would feel about some new developments. "What about the good demons?"
Niji raised a brow to think about the implications of that but her mind was made up fairly quickly. "Good demons… I've never met any demon that was good, and really they only lie to make you let your guard down so they can kill you."
"So what does that mean for me?"
Taiki and his friend looked past the Hashira to see a young boy dressed in a white version of the Corps uniform with red spiderwebs weaved into the fabric. Although his feet weren't visible past his hakama pants which were flared at the bottom. 'Wait a fucking second… His skin's white!' Skin almost the same color as the uniform and pale lilac hair.
"I killed so many people when I served that man, and I did so many things wrong to other demons." A part of his long, claw-like, hair to reveal his left eye and just like that he struck fear into the injured pair. "I was only ranked as Lower Five of the Twelve Kizuki… but the things I did could have given me Lower Two."
The newest Hashira watched as the ex-Kizuki used his threads to pull one of the male slayers up and just as quickly the wound was sutured closed. Taiki and Niji were dumbfounded by one of the strongest demons currently alive just mending up their numbers.
"If you guys keep your mouths open something might go in them. Rui's been helping the Corps for nearly four months now, and he's been patrolling with me since I took over this district a few days ago."
"But he's a demon, he has to eat humans doesn't he?"
Jikon just looked at the girl and felt a weird connection with her ability to ask the right questions when it mattered. At least this gave him that impression. "I don't care anyway. A demon, a dog, a bear, whatever. As long as it kills demons it's fine by me."
"Lord Hakuga!" He turned to see one of the cleanup crew running up to him. "Things are just about cleaned up here, we'll get these two to the Estate." Jikon looked at this girl's knees and saw how much she was shaking for whatever reason. He was just a- Oh right, he was a Hashira now, and he'd been training himself into the ground for nearly twenty days to try and be ready for his first patrol the other night. "You and Lord Rui are free to continue your patrol for tonight!"
'Lord Rui' was busy helping another unconscious person into the arms of a kakushi and his double take once he heard his name was just precious.
"Oh… Then we should go." The Spider Demon stood up and left the same way he came, with Jikon following right behind him. "We had another lead… the cult activity."
"We should hurry there." The two walked into the tunnel and left the scene as quick as they came.
Green eyes narrowed on the departing Hashira. 'That guy took the demon down without even trying. And he's got one of the Twelve on our side… That's the strength I need. Okay Hakuga, I'll train with you.' With that he and his mentor were off to the Butterfly Estate to get taught by the newest Hashira… now that he thought about it, it was pretty crazy to think about.
'Wait, he looked like he was Taiki's age. He's a Hashira?!' Maybe Jikon would have more in common with her than he thought. 'He's gotta be really good- No, super good to use some of the first form without knowing Thunder Breathing.'
Set the table properly. Everything had to be perfect for tonight. It was a chance to show off everything she learned and she couldn't waste the opportunity. 'It should be good.' Her head turned and she took in the room again. A vase of flowers, china set with utensils at the sides, and the kotatsu had its covering neatly pulled over. The color probably wasn't good but that wasn't what she was graded on. 'Good isn't enough.'
Her efforts in making the room seem nicer doubled in their desperation but it wasn't helping much. There was only so much she could do with what they were given here but she was still making it work despite that. Three knocks on the door and she stopped what she was doing to immediately go to the door and kneel down then bow her head as it opened to reveal a handsome man with black hair and dark brown eyes.
"Welcome home."
She patiently waited for the door to close before standing up. Everything had to be perfect after all.
"That was an okay greeting. You didn't sound happy enough to see me." Her heart sank momentarily but this wasn't done yet so she had to ignore it and keep things going.
"I've set everything up for dinner. Once you're out of the bath it'll be ready."
He looked at everything and hummed to himself. "It's decent, maybe if you opened your eyes you'd do a little better." She couldn't see it but he was showing that he was still against her rebellion of keeping her eyes closed indefinitely. She had an amazing sense of hearing that made up for the loss in sight enough for her to get by day to day, but he wanted her to open those eyes more than anything. Maybe he'd finally pass her for once if she did. "Is my bath already prepared? I'll have to hurry since I'm very hungry."
"Yes. The water is already heated and ready. Dinner should be done by the time you're finished." She idly pulled at her nightgown in thought about that response. Was it enough? Would he finally give her a pass? She practiced her etiquette and what to do for so long that it was second nature, by now she should have passed one exam.
"Sit down. Kneel." She heard him take a step towards her and she knelt down to listen for her grade. "Things weren't in the best shape when I came in." Lie. It was an immaculate room. "Dinner and my bath should be ready at the same time so that's also disappointing." Untrue. You were always supposed to clean up before you could have dinner. "And you're still not opening those beautiful eyes. With how slim your body is and how large your ears are, you need every advantage to beat the pretty girls. If anything you should be more glad that I'm even evaluating you." He rested his hand on her cheek and she leaned into the touch. "All of the girls that this school has to offer and I'm wasting my time with you, then you have the nerve to hide your eyes from me. I'm ashamed to be your Headmaster, Yoshino."
The tears pricking the corners of her shut eyes were fighting their way out but she was doing everything to hold them back even as the only man who ever gave her some form of attention in this place. In actuality he was the only male member of staff in this Boarding School and he was the one who gave progress exams to the students attending. "Yes sir." Her voice was small, like a squeaking mouse scurrying into the dark.
"Now go back to your room, you failed again." His hand moved away and she had to resist the urge to follow its warmth. Instead she stood up and bowed to him before leaving without another word. "These girls, well no, that girl. She doesn't match up to the others, and I can't make a proper woman out of her if this is how she acts."
"Don't get too invested in your role." His neck almost snapped to look at the woman sitting in his now open windowsill. His office was the only room that these exams were conducted in. Why? It had the only door that locked in the entire school. "All you have to do is make sure that when one of those girls graduates, I get my meal."
She strutted up to him and poked his chest with a sharp nail to accentuate his standing of being her food source as long as he ran this school, and in return he got to train these girls to become wives by whatever means he viewed as necessary. Of course they wouldn't become actual wives, just food. Nothing more and nothing less. But no matter what he had gotten sick of this woman stopping him from giving perfectly good women out to deserving men in society who worked hard and should have a woman easing up their life. Today was the day.
"I think you should learn where you belong too." He grabbed her neck and pushed her down to her knees. "What makes you think you should ever stand equal to a hard working man? Whatever monster you think you are, you're still just a woman. And all women belong in one place." He unbuttoned his trousers and let himself free to the fresh night air coming in from the open window. "Underneath a man." He grabbed her kimono and pulled it down enough to reveal her mounds of supple flesh. A great size, big but not big enough to sag.
Her red eyes turned to slits at the sight of his… lackluster equipment, but she actually decided to bring her mouth to it and envelop it in a single go. Even as she started to have some trouble constraining the flesh in her mouth as it grew, it definitely wasn't anything to panic over.
"Here I was ready for you to try and deny this but it looks like you really do know your place. But you could use some practice since I can feel a lot of your teeth." He didn't understand the fuse he just lit until he looked down and saw her sharp toothed smile around his very delicate area. "O- AAARAAGH!" The pain was so intense that he fell right to the floor, clutching his bloody groin and wailing in agony.
The woman stood up and fixed her kimono with blood still leaking from her mouth, and to really rub in her dissatisfaction she spat out his mangled hunk of meat with a smile. "I really didn't enjoy having that little thing in my mouth. You're not the worst looking but with that attitude I can see why you used this position to be with girls." Suddenly she brightened up and smiled even wider. "If you want that to grow back then how about we see if you could become a demon?" She dragged her index finger along her forearm and let blood drip onto his mangled crotch. "If you can actually become something then we'll have to go through this school ourselves. Starting with the little mouse outside the door."
Yoshino was never as terrified as she was when those words entered her ears, and she took the opportunity to run away as fast as her legs would take her. She sprinted down the hall and nearly knocked over one of the women who would teach them everything they needed to know.
"A lady doesn't run unless there's an emergency!" She didn't get anything out of the willingly blind girl. "I'll tell the headmaster. She's been in this rebellious and unladylike phase long enough." She knocked on the door before slowly opening it and- Why was she falling down? Oh. Her neck was torn open.
"Well it's not who I wanted to start with but she isn't going anywhere." The demoness stepped out of the room and behind her was a balding demon with grey skin. More of his hair was falling out with each passing second. "Let's have some fun."
With that the massacre began.
Yoshino ran into her room and slammed the door shut behind her. Two flights of stairs and a hallway had her gasping for breath and her roommate immediately got up to see what was wrong. A girl with greenish blue eyes me a head of brown hair.
"What's wrong? You sound like you ran back all the way? Oh! You finally passed! I knew you could do it!" This girl was so optimistic despite their circumstances. They were punished for having improper poise, she had it often. Speaking out of turn, she did that too. Not paying proper respects, way too often. Even talking too loudly, didn't even need explaining. All of that abuse is what lead to Yoshino never opening her eyes to avoid the sight… and limited trust in people, but Nonoka somehow stayed bright and the exception to the rule. It might help that she isn't too clever.
"No- Nonoka! The gods-! They're finally-!"
Nonoka just tried to calm her friend down so they could celebrate without all the panic and preferably in the morning since it was so late. "The gods finally helped you pass, I know it's exciting! The girls who said you'd never pass can just eat their words! I knew you could."
"No! Nonoka! The gods have sent their retribution! It turned the headmaster into a servant and they're going to cleanse the whole school!"
…
…
…
…
"The school needed to be cleaned?" As said before, she isn't too clever. But they were cut off by the sounds of screaming and loud tearing of something. "What was that?"
"The gods! Getting rid of this evil school. We have to get out before it takes us too!" Just like that she grabbed Nonoka's hand and led them out of the room in only their nightgowns. "We have to leave now!" The sounds were getting closer to them from above, meaning that this purge would eventually land on them if they didn't hurry. "All we have to do is get to the first floor!" Their room was on the second so it was simple as getting-
"Look out!" Nonoka pulled Yoshino back and the two of them watched the floor from above fall down and nearly crushed them both. "So we can't go this way? We can find another way to get out!" This time it was Nonoka who started leading them towards some form of safety that would give some sort of reprieve from this mayhem.
Through king hallways and confusing corridors that they had to struggle to stay calm in, Yoshino and Nonoka ran as hard as they could until they couldn't run anymore. Okay. A quick rest wouldn't actually hurt their- The building started shaking and more parts of the floor above them broke away. This place might've just been constructed poorly to be honest. They scrambled and evaded the rubble but now they were cut off from anywhere to run and the screaming was still going.
"Hurry! In here!" The constant sounds were bouncing off the walls and painting a very consistent picture for Yoshino's ears to the point where she was seeing her surroundings in a constant and clear view. Nonoka huddled down with her friend and listened to the sounds of the building collapsing around them. "This really is a divine power isn't it? Nothing else makes sense."
More and more rumbling for a bit. They just held each other tightly for comfort and tried to make sense of what was going on in their lives tonight. How did things manage to go from failing her simple progress exam to the gods finally wiping this school out?! Why?! What did she do to deserve this?! It wasn't fair.
Nonoka broke the long running silence with her own theory. "It could be somebody who um… somebody destroying the school because he's scared of somebody here being the girl who seals him away forever." The shaking got more intense and now they could feel different things going on. Yoshino's ears started picking up some- Wait a moment. It sounded like she was hearing other voices in the destruction.
"-kata. -ishio!" That voice was a prelude to what sounded like an explosion and it was moving closer towards them. Now the voice was clearing up just a little bit and she focused her hearing on it.
"-ive up! Every-… -dy dead!" That sounded like the first voice. The goddess that started all of this was getting closer to them and so were these other voices. Now there wasn't just one being destroying this entire school, there were at least two. Maybe she deserved to just be cleansed. Forgotten because of her inadequate performance to even make one man see her as worth something. No. No she tried her best and he just didn't like that she didn't do it his way! But… but maybe there was a-
"Ayame Kago." (Murderous Eye Basket). Now there was the sickening sound of meat getting chopped into pieces and splattering against the floor.
"What was that? It sounded so wrong!" So now they were close enough for Nonoka to hear but Yoshino was getting a near perfect 'view' of the situation in sound based form. "Should we go see-"
"No!" She had to pull her friend back from the door of the closet and then hear the warped voice of the headmaster. He was a god the whole time? It made sense.
"I was their God!" Point proven. "These girls were nothing without me! You couldn't understand the-"
"Shut up. You ass." Who- Who was that? "Talking like you did something good." The sound of rushing water and then something slammed into the wall right beside their door. There was something blue jutting through the wall and it was sharper than the knives in the kitchen. "Go spout your bullshit in hell." The blue object ripped to the left with coursing water behind it and now the sound of liquid sloshing was audible but it didn't last long until there was a solid slicing sound. Now it was calm. Dead calm.
"This… is my fault. If I had the right directions… we would have found this place faster." The eye basket voice spoke up in a very relaxed manner.
Now the one that was so furious turned so calm. "No. It's my fault. We shouldn't have guessed it would be so easy to find something with a cult. Especially since it could have just been normal humans causing trouble." Yoshino could perfectly hear that figure putting the blue thing back into a cover. "Now how can this be covered up? They said there were three hundred girls attending this place… but here I couldn't even save one. The Master was wrong, how could I ever be a Hashira?"
"There were Hashira that died and didn't save anyone… but they were Hashira because they were helping the Demon Slayer Corps. I enjoy the Hashira system more than the Twelve Kizuki. The Lower Ranks changed often, same as the Hashira. The Kizuki didn't help weaker demons, the Hashira help weaker people. The Kizuki serve Kibutsuji out of fear, the Hashira serve Master Oyakata out of respect. It's a genuine bond that the Hashira have, and it's better."
Twelve Demon Moons? Demon Slayers? Pillars? What type of divine talk was all of this about? Yoshino's thoughts were so deep that she didn't manage to stop Nonoka from investigating who these voices were coming from until she saw the door open. "No!" The two spilled out into a hallway coated with red and there they saw… They saw two men. Their training kicked in and they immediately bowed their heads to them. "I apologize for yelling in your presence."
Nonoka was a little more clumsy in her apology. "I'm sorry for being so loud, I wanted to see the gods."
"So they were lying. This is two more than we thought were alive." He was forming a cat's cradle during that deduction while his partner looked at the window and saw the night sky starting to turn to an early dawn.
He drew his sword and the girls watched as a rushing torrent of water followed his every move until he used the weapon to smash through the wall. "Let's get them out of this." He put the weapon away and turned back to the girl with closed eyes. "Come on. Whatever they did here is done forever." His hand was in front of her face but instead of being in a grasping position, it was ready to accept instead of take. He didn't ask why her eyes were closed but she knew where he was. Just that he wanted to get her and Nonoka outside.
Slowly but surely it started to become more clear. Even with salty fluid blurring her senses she kept going to slowly introduce an unfamiliar feeling again. Purple, some ruby red, and a touch of glistening white. Her eyes were open and she was crying. This wasn't a god but it might have been something close with how she reached for his hand and took it. He was jumping out of the hole and setting her down so fast that her head was spinning.
The white skinned one made sure to grab Nonoka and land safely with her in his grasp. When she finally touched the grass outside she couldn't do anything but rub her hands all across it to savor the rare feeling on her skin. The outside world wasn't something women would see often… or so they were taught.
"Two people saved from a slaughter. It's a start. Now what can we do about the entire building?" Five stories tall and well hidden by the forestry around them. The massacre that happened here over the night wouldn't have any clear explanation because of the damages to the structure so how would the Corps manage to-
"Kekkijutsu." Rui extended his blood red hands and Jikon watched as a giant crimson web formed around the building. The attraction was the huge circular web above the abandoned school. "Kokushi Rinten." (Cutting Thread Rotation). It was so large that it wouldn't even be avoidable by normal humans. "Blame the building falling apart… If this wouldn't happen naturally that is." He pulled his hands down and they all watched as the school imploded under the power of that spiraling crimson thread.
"I'm not sure that was the best idea but it does look like the building gave out."
Right now that idea about them not being gods was slowly being reworked from that display alone. "That was amazing!" Especially by Nonoka. "How did you do that? Are all men this amazing? What special magic can you give me? Is there special magic for women? Can I have that shar- Mmfh! Mmph! Mm!?"
"What she means is, how did you do that? And is it something that normal men can do? If you don't mind us asking sir."
Nonoka watched the one in the blue haori cross his arms while the pale one's hands turned white again. He was very small compared to the water man.
"I'm younger."
"You can read minds?! How much magic do you have?!"
"You were talking out loud." Oh. She did have that as a small habit.
The one in a haori sighed and put his blue eyes onto the girls. "Well first things first. My name is Jikon Hakuga. This is Rui, and he's a demon. No demons aren't just myths and legends to keep bad kids in bed, they're real." Yoshino wanted to object but after what they just saw in the last few minutes she didn't have any argument against that. "There were two demons in that school, one was a woman and the other was the man in charge. They… They killed everyone inside. I'm sorry I wasn't here faster."
They started to pull back once they heard that Rui was a demon as well but he clearly wasn't the same as the two that turned their already dysfunctional lives on their heads.
Yoshino wanted to be sad. She- She felt like she should be sad. But no matter how you looked at it, that wasn't a family she lost. They weren't friends. The only person that mattered to her was right next to her. "I'm Nonoka Manuke!"
Jikon paused and looked at her with so much confusion that even a blind man would see it. "Your parents named you that?"
She shook her head with a cheerful smile. "No, the headmaster changes everyone's family name since it won't matter once we get married!"
And now Jikon was more glad that he sliced the man's head off. 'He named her stupid and she doesn't even know… or maybe she knows but doesn't care.'
"I'm Yoshino Mausu. He named me that because of- of my ears and tiny body." She didn't need to be reminded that she wasn't appealing but that name was always her reason to prove him wrong. Watching Jikon take off a basket that- Was that on his back the entire time? He took off the basket and set it on the ground while Rui opened it and climbed in. "Huh?"
"Demons can't be in the sunlight. He'd burn into ash. And I think mice are cute, same as you. You remind me of my girlfriend. You're both small, have beautiful eyes, and you're not good at hiding how angry you are." His nose knows. The conflicting emotions that were coming off her from this distance told a story of how much she hated this place. And how happy she was that it was reduced to rubble. "Let's get you both somewhere to be checked up and maybe we can get you to learn how to protect yourselves from demons."
He put the basket back on and helped the two of them stand up, barefoot, on the grass. "This is so strange to walk on. We didn't go outside much."
The basket shook a bit before Rui's muted voice came from it. "That hairless man told us how you were all being taught to be wives. It was a lie, he only used you all for his sick ideas. Then fed whoever he saw as too old to the demon woman."
Too old. Nonoka and Yoshino were going to be nineteen soon. 'Nonoka never passed since she was… Nonoka. But what if I passed? I wanted to be approved so badly but I would've- I'd have just died from it?'
"Mister Hakuga! Do you have any cool stories while we walk?" She was still so cheerful even though both her and her friend were experiencing that walking barefoot wasn't fun.
"I have the story of two boys who met a man that set them on a path to become Demon Slayers."
Nonoka beamed and bounced along behind him to hear more about this story while Yoshino shook her head clear of those negative thoughts. Her head low and posture still straight as proof she took everything in that school to heart.
"Well it all started one day where a boy named Pikkon was sitting in the bushes, looking for his brother Gojo…"
Author's Notes: Was the excessive description and occurrence of oral sex needed in this chapter? Maybe not but I wanted it to be, my stories are M for a reason. The next chapter will cut back on it... probably. See ya next time.
